Cudlin confirmed for Sepang and Motegi rides

Following the recent announcement regarding Damian Cudlin joining the PBM MotoGP team to contest both the recent Aragon and forthcoming Phillip Island rounds, the UK based team have now confirmed that the Australian rider will also compete in the upcoming Sepang and Motegi races.

Consequently, the RAC (Racing Against Cancer) BMW Team have agreed to release Cudlin from his IDM Superbike Championship contract in order to allow him to race at the next three MotoGP events on successive weekends, starting with the Shell Advance Malaysian Motorcycle Grand Prix this weekend.
British rider Michael Laverty, who has campaigned the CRT-specification PBM machine all season, will continue aboard the Aprilia ART bike for the remainder of 2013.
Paul Bird Motorsport Technical Director Phil Borley stated: "PBM would like to thank the RAC Racing BMW Team for allowing Damian to race for us in the Malaysian GP and we now look forward to working with him for the three long haul races and continue the progress we were making during the sessions at Aragon.
